- Where can people get more information and help?

- What training does management say the audience needs?
- What are the major gaps between actual and desired performance?
- If we only accomplish three training goals for this project, what would they be?
"Module" implies something the participant can complete in one sitting, which would be 30-60 minutes. Aim to address as many of the issues you identified by asking questions as possible in that window.
